Tristan English Slump

[Ramblin'Man]

What's up with his hitting this year, it's beyond terrible? I guess the only good news is that he might be back on the flats next year instead of heading to he majors, hope he can figure things out soon....

If I heard correctly, he has one of the highest exit velocities on the team so far. So he’s crushing the ball just a bit unlucky. If he continues to keep the exit velo up, the batting average should follow.

English will be drafted high this year. The MLB knows his potential.

He is trying to and being asked to do too much right now.

I hope he gets a good draft this year, players get screwed as Seniors.

Safe to say Tristan has been getting overworked. He just needs a few days to recover

 

[65Jacket]

He has been having a lot of hard hit "at'em" balls.

Three hits tonight. Would be great for him to get on a hot streak before Miami this weekend.

Come on, Tristin. Hunter is waiting for you in MLB to be the 2nd Pike Co alum in the Big Leagues!

I haven't followed that closely, but he seems to have good ABs with lots of HBP. ~40 ABs is not enough to judge anything, and I expect the ball will find holes like it did tonight.

If you don't mind me asking, do you have access to that kind of data for the college level? I'd love to get my hands on it.

South P...please don't take this the wrong way but exit velocity? Just another meaningless stat, really, conjured up by the analytics and data industry. Some of this analytics stuff is getting OTT. Just put the ball in play.

Rant over...get off my lawn.

Unfortunately I don't think they publish the college data like statcast does for the MLB. Most of the college analytics is done individually by the team. My reference was Wade mentioning it during the broadcast. As close as he is to the team, I'm sure coaches mention analytical stats to him when he is asking questions and that spills over to the broadcast stream.

Wiley* not Wade.

Ah ok. I guess that is some confirmation that the team uses some form of analytics. How much and how they collect it still seem to be open questions.

For years one of my big complaints about our current coaching staff is that their decision making can seem behind the times when it comes to what we already know from contemporary analysis. Made me wonder if they used data like that or didn't even have it available perhaps to lack of financial support. But sounds like there's something.

Thanks!
